finish it up Friday, week 13

Welcome to week 13 of finish it up Friday!

I am quite excited about my finish this week! I started this charming little cushion cover on Tuesday and finished it up early Thursday morning. I do not recommend a marathon of hand appliquing, by the way. :) This was a birthday gift for my dear friend Tara, who's birthday was this week. I am super excited, because I got to give it to her personally because she is here visiting this weekend. Yahoo!!!!!!!!!!!!

The cushion cover measures about 19" square-ish and it was inspried by this quilt.

Now it's your turn. Please link up your finish for the week. Then go ahead and visit a few other links so we can all cheer each other on in our finishes!

Wow! I am amazed at the effect you have achieved with applique. I have been doing a lot of applique but it has all been flowers, animals and hearts for a fleece blanket - all bondaweb and satin stitch. This is Grown Up Applique. It's gorgeous. I thought it was some sort of amazing curved piecing that would be totally impossible for a baby quilter but, actually, it's achievable. Another one on the waiting list then - lol!-Jenni

So pretty! Your friend is so lucky! I love how you arranged your colors in this pillow, so springy look! Love it! This week, I don't have anything finish up, but always enjoy come to the post and check on how other people do.. a good weekend to you~

I got my post all ready (edited pictrues etc) and then didn't submit it- must be prego brain as I have 9 weeks to go... any way here's the link ... I love that you have this 'deadline', it is very motivating to know that I have a date to work towards. Once again- I love your blog, it is my fav (.http://sistersinsewing(.)blogspot(.)com/)

I just chanced upon your blog, and am totally blown away! What wonderful work you do, and how amazing are your 'quilt alongs'. I am a new quilter, primarily have worked with crazy quilting, but have begun work on traditional quilting. I would love to work a quilt along with you when you next have one. I am thinking of working on one of them anyway! I live in India where quilting is still not very common. We have just formed our own guild, the indian Modern Quilting Guild!

I am happily making baby doll quilts today from two of your tutorials, I actually use the ticker tape idea but don't lift up quilting foot between squares I just keep sewing them down and use thread between them to quilt the top some more.and of course with matching pillows from your tut also.
